Watch: Lawmakers Cheer As Ugandan President Declares ‘War With The Homosexual Lobby’

It’s only Monday but this likely will be the most frightening thing you’ll see all week.

After admonishing the Parliament of his own nation late last year for “repeatedly” breaking the law by passing the Anti-Homosexuality Bill without the required quorum, and strongly suggesting he would not sign it, the President of Uganda announced at his national party retreat last week that he will sign the bill.

The Anti-Homosexuality Bill mandates jail sentences — including life in prison — for those accused of having sex with members of their own gender, and for those who know LGBT people but do not report them to authorities. Jail is also mandated for those who support LGBT civil rights and the LGBT community.

Watch this video as the President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, tells the lawmakers of his party he will sign the bill. Watch as he announces, “We shall have a war with the homosexual lobby, in the world, backed by these people and you.”

Watch as the stand, applaud, and cheer.

What more cowardly act could there be to declare war on a group of innocent people you just declared criminals, promising to throw them in jail for who they are and who they love?

Piers Morgan called it “gay apartheid.”

Museveni stated that he would not sign the bill unless his scientists would state that homosexuality is not genetic or biological, but a deviant behavior. So, of course, they did.

Most of these Members of Parliament are wearing yellow polos, which on the back of some read, “education is the holistic development of the human person.”

Perhaps they’ll let the world know when they start to follow that idea.

Who will they judge next and for what?……it's likely to be someone who stood and cheered this time.

Re "Museveni stated that he would not sign the bill unless his scientists would state that homosexuality is not genetic or biological, but a deviant behavior. So, of course, they did." I'm not sure this is true. The actual paper can apparently be found here: http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/btb/wp-content/u… via this blog: http://sebaspace.wordpress.com/2014/02/17/ugandan… The "scientific" paper is not brilliant, but it certainly does not lend itself to the interpretation that the media and Museveni seem to be imputing to it, and it far from supports the idea that the Anti-Homosexuality Bill is necessary. It does not say that homosexuality is a "lifestyle" choice. On the contrary it insists that homosexuality is not a disease, not "abnormal" to the human condition, nor a colonial import, but like any sexuality is a product of both nature and nature.
